		Ghazali achieves a degree of clarity in his presentation of the basic features of mysticism by introducing a rational, theoretical framework to explain certain otherwise inexplicable aspects of mysticism.
		The speech (kalām) of the mystics, Ghazali points out, is incomplete and sometimes even defective because it is the habit of each one of them to give an account of his own spiritual state alone, without any regard for the states of others; consequently, their explicit statements diverge markedly.
		Ghazali distinguishes between the "knowledge of revelation" and the "knowledge of devotional practice." The former, in his view, cannot and must not be expressed or laid down in writing.

	JewishEncyclopedia.com - GHAZALI, ABU ḤAMID MOHAMMED IBN MOHAMMED AL-:
		Far greater influence was exercised by Ghazali's "Tahafut al-Falasifah," a sequel to the "Maḳaṣid." After having expounded in the latter work the teachings of the philosophers, he shows in the "Tahafut" their weakness.
		According to Ghazali, there is not necessarily any connection between phenomena that usually occur in a certain order; he asserts that the divine mind has ordained that certain phenomena shall always occur in a certain order.
		Ghazali was followed in his attacks on philosophy by Judah ha-Levi, who in his "Cuzari" often used the phraseology of the "Tahafut." Ḥasdai Crescas also received inspiration from the same source, though he gave it far more original expression.

	Al Jazeera English - Archive - Ghazali Ready To Quit If Ordered
		Ghazali was among a number of Syrian officials interviewed by a UN murder inquiry in Vienna in November.
		Ghazali declined to comment on the threats he allegedly made to the late al-Hariri, saying he prefers to protect the confidentiality of the probe and avoid obstruction of the truth's revelation.
		Ghazali said Damascus will remain committed to its decision to co-operate with the international inquiry into al-Hariri's assassination as long as it does not infringe on Syria's sovereignty.

	Ghazali - LoveToKnow 1911
		GHAZALI [Muhammad ibn Muhammad Abu Hamid alGhazalij (1058-r111), Arabian philosopher and theologian, was born at Tus, and belonged to a family of Ghazala (near Tus) distinguished for its knowledge of canon law.
		Educated at first in Tus, then in Jorjan, and again in Tit's, he went to college at Nishapur, where he studied under Juwaini (known as the Imam ul-Haramain) until 1085, when he visited the celebrated vizier Nizam ul-Mulk, who appointed him to a professorship in his college at Bagdad in 1091.
		In r 106 he was tempted to go to the West, where the Moravid (Almoravid) reformation was being led by Yusuf ibn Tashfin, with whom he had been in correspondence earlier.

	Ghazali on Miracles and Necessary Connection
		Furthermore, we argue that Ghazali's desire to uphold the possibility of miracles need not constrain him to repudiate the idea of necessary connection, since he is able to explain miracles in ways that are compatible with belief in causality and necessary connection.
		Ghazali begins by stating his view and then goes on to challenge the basis of the argument of his opponents.
		Ghazali's assertion that miracles constitute a "departure from the usual course of events" can mean one of two things: (1) to have a cause without its normally expected effect; for instance, decapitation without death, or contact with fire without incineration.

		Ghazali was born in 450 or 451 H. 1058 or 1059) in Ghazaleh, a village on the outskirts of Tus, in Khorasan, northeastern Iran.
		In fact, Ghazali strove vehemently to destroy the demonstrative range that philosophers, Avicennians as well as others, accorded to their arguments regarding the eternity of the world, the procession of the Intelligences, the existence of purely spiritual substances, and the idea of spiritual resurrection.
		The same paradox is apparent in Ghazali's other polemical works; in the "Courteous Refutation of the Divinity of Jesus Christ According to the Gospel"; in his treatise in Persian against all sorts of "freethinkers," or heretical thinkers (Ibahiya); and, finally, in the treatise against the Isma'llites (the Batinites, or "esoterics").

		Abu Hamid Ghazali was born in 1058 at Tus near Meshed, not far from what is now the Northeast corner of Iran.
		At the age of 33, Ghazali was sent to be a professor at the famous Nizamiyya school founded by Vizier Nizam al-Mulk.
		Ghazali has been termed a moderate mystic, though he believed undeniably that God is the true reality in all that is faced.

		Ghazali's division of the sciences seems to be particularly influenced by Avicenna, who also divides practical science into the three parts mentioned by Ghazali in the Aims.
		Ghazali confirms the division of sciences and the view that ethics is a practical science, which were given in the Aims.
		Ghazali is particularly interested in the second religious science, i.e., the science of the branches; and within this science, he favors the part he calls the science of the hereafter over jurisprudence, which he regards an inferior worldly discipline.

	EL-GHAZALI
		Ghazali not only points out that what people call belief may be a state of obsession; he states clearly, in accordance with Sufi principles, that it is not inescapable, but insists that it is essential for people to be able to identify it.
		Ghazali's scientific, psychological discoveries, though widely appreciated by academics of all kinds, have not been given the attention they deserve because he specifically disclaims the knowledge or logical method as their origin.
		Ghazali insists upon the connection and also the difference between the social or diversionary contact of people, and the higher contact.

	AL GHAZALI AND AVERROES
		Ghazali's first answer is that the causation the philosophers attribute to the First is not will.
		Ghazali is saying that even if we waive the objection that the First need not know what proceeds from him by nature rather than by will, still only one thing proceeds directly from him, and he won't know the things he causes indirectly.
		Now, Ghazali argues, if, as the philosophers say, sense knowledge and knowledge of particular changing things is not needed to perfect the First (and is even incompatible with its perfection), then so is any other sort of knowledge, including knowledge of the intelligible universals.

	THOSE WHO ATTACK IMAM GHAZALI
		Some go so far as to claim that Ghazali was mad when he wrote it, others misconstrue Ghazali's deathbed reading of Imam Bukhari as a renunciation of tasawwuf, others yet bring up the condemnations of the book by a handful of scholars known for their anti-sufi bias.
		When they are told that Imam Ghazali's books on the methodology and foundations of Islamic law are considered required reading in the field -- such as his Mustasfa and Mankhul and Shifa' al-ghalil -- they say that he wrote them before his period of seclusion during which he adopted tasawwuf.
		The work shows how deeply Ghazali personally realized what he wrote about, and his masterly treatment of hundreds of questions dealing with the inner life that no-one had previously discussed or solved is a performance of sustained excellence that shows its author's well- disciplined intellect and profound appreciation of human psychology.

	glbtq >> literature >> Ghazali, Mehemmed
		Ghazali was a scholar and poet born in the second half of the fifteenth century in Bursa, where he later became professor of Sufism, although soon afterward he joined the court of Crown Prince Qorqud, son of Sultan Bayezid II (d.
		Nevertheless, Ghazali remained at court until the Crown Prince was executed in 1512 by his brother Selim I. Having returned to Bursa with the intention of settling down to a quiet life, his restlessness caused him to travel.
		The next time we hear of Ghazali he is in Mecca, where he rebuilt his compound, but no further information about him survives save that he died in 1535.

		I demonstrate that Ghazali’s notions of the self and selfhood is never really far from his epistemological concerns.
		This takes place especially after his intense engagement with tasawwuf (mysticism) when he is keen to infuse notions of subjectivity in the study of law and ethics.
		Ghazali inflects notions of aesthetics (dhawq) and understandings of theonomy, by means of fiqh al-nafs in his exploration of ethics.

		Based on his unquestionable scholarship and personal mystical experience, Ghazali sought to rectify these trends, both in philosophy and sufism.
		However, he adopted the techniques of Aristotelian logic and the Neoplatonic procedures and employed these very tools to lay bare the flaws and lacunas of the then prevalent Neoplatonic philosophy and to diminish the negative influences of Aristotelianism and excessive rationalism.
		With his clarity of thought and force of argument, he was able to create a balance between religion and reason, and identified their respective spheres as being the infinite and the finite, respectively.

	City of Brass: The incoherence of Ghazali (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Ghazali's contention that the "circumstances remain uncertain" surrounding the culpability of Yazid (LA) in ordering the death of Imam Husain (AS) is simply risible.
		As for Ghazali's incredibly disingenous interpretation of Qur'an 49:12 that "it is forbidden to think ill of a Muslim" (in fact, the ayat is a general discussion of backbiting or qiyas, and does not single out muslims in any way for applicability.
		The taint of Ghazali's apologism still pervades the muslim world and hinders a clear condemnation of evil in the name of Islam - far too many people who would not hesitate to condemn OBL were he a Jew are instead agnostic to his crimes.

	Dispute of Averroes and Ghazali is it relevant in the modern world? - Reader comments at DanielPipes.org
		3)The work of Ghazali subjected to the criticism mostly the school of Avicenna, yet by doing that he pretended to criticise all the hellenic style philosophy, claiming that the thesises of Avicenna are valid for all Greek philosophy.
		4)Comparing the two thinkers, it appears that it was Ghazali who had much more critical thinking, his concepts maybe were traditional but the organic whole in which he united them was truly novel and made big impact on the development of islam.
		The Avicennan-Aristotelian logic was adopted by Ghazali himself, while in the subsequent period it made a considerable impact on the late Kalam school.

		Secretary of the Treasury John W.

Indeed, the designations referred in detail to the role these individuals played in Lebanon.
		In 2002, Ghazali replaced Kanaan as head of Syrian military intelligence, and Ghazali continued the policies of his predecessor by ensuring that the Lebanese political atmosphere matched the interests of the Syrian government.
		Ghazali maintained similar influence; U.S. authorities believe that he instructed the commanders of the LAF Directorate of Intelligence, Internal Security Forces, and Directorate of General Security to report to him on a daily basis.
